I've been to two concerts featuring two full drum kits: Living Sacrifice in 2002 and Poliça in 2013. Both shows were incredible, but also could not have been more different.

It has probably already been done but I think Stone Cold Steve Austin Powers would make a terrific Halloween costume.

Oh yeah Max Brosmer here we gooooo

Cam Akers TD pass to Josh Oliver was not on my bingo card this week.

Linden Hills could be paradise if it wasn’t so accessible to people from Edina.

See the child. He is pale and thin, he wears a thin and ragged linen shirt. He strokes the scullery fire. Congress has not authorized the use of military force.

Tiocfaidh ár lá, Skol Vikings.

Remember, the Steelers are ENGLISH and the Vikings support REUNIFICATION with Northern Ireland.

What Amon-Ra St. Brown screamed at the camera after his TD juxtaposed with him visiting a German preschool and announcing "Pom pom fur die Kinder"....just the best thing I've ever experienced watching MNF.

Izzy Rodgers is having a DAY.

Where is this re-tooled offensive line I heard about?

I’m old enough to remember Republican students on my college campus ghoulishly celebrating the deaths of Paul and Sheila Wellstone. None of them faced any consequences or reprimand.

OK JJ good job picking yourself off the floor and making a confident comeback.

The Former Mr. Lizzo has been having a great game ever since subbing in for Blake Cashman.

Baby Nuts shouldn't have gotten his girlfriend pregnant before starting for the Vikings tonight. The way things are going he's not going to be able to afford daycare soon.

Both kids pooping in the bathtub was not on my bingo card tonight.

I fall for this every year.

Realized a longtime dream of mine by finally seeing Kurosawa’s 1985 masterpiece “Ran 乱”on the big screen. One of my top 5 favorite films of all time.

Heavy…like watermelon cherry

Saw A-Ha, Angelique Kidjo, and LAURYN HILL perform a concert in a soccer stadium in Dakar, Senegal back in 2006. A-ha did like a 15 minute version of “Take on Me”. Ms. Hill showed up an hour late, was really high, was dressed VERY fashionably, and only sang Bob Marley covers.

Feels kind of fun that the Vikings have two Big 10 QBs on the roster, along with some guy who played for a DIII college in North Dakota.

“Ah," she said, "to come is easy and takes hours; to go is different—and may take centuries.”

Went to a 10pm showing of “Relay” this past weekend at the local multiplex and was the only one in my auditorium. It really added to the experience, since a major theme of that (very enjoyable) film is the effects of isolation.

It is hard to describe just how cartoonishly and garishly evil James Dobson was. His stated intention was to turn the world into a living hell of suffering for women and children, among others. He reveled in persecution.

The most perverse, deceitful arch-demon in Hell could not find a better terrestrial disguise than James Dobson. If a slimy leechlike organism slithered out of his carcass and back to the infernal depths upon his passing, I would not be surprised.

Not only is Timothy Olyphant’s acting incredible in Alien Earth, but the folks doing his makeup are absolutely knocking it out of the park (not to add another baseball analogy to a show already full of them).

“Foxxadooa” is how North Dakotans say focaccia.

Watching "Jaws" always makes me crave a snifter full of apricot brandy.

'Whose was it?' 'His who is gone.' 'Who shall have it?' 'He who will come.' ('What was the month?' 'The sixth from the first.') 'Where was the sun?' 'Over the oak.' 'Where was the shadow?' 'Under the elm.'

My toddler is obsessed with tornadoes right now, which he calls "Tomados". His observations: -Tornadoes make a mess -Tornadoes are naughty -Tornadoes need a time out He spent a good half hour at the MN History Center perusing old photos of tornado damage in the Weather Permitting exhibit.

De naorderwèndj en de zon weuren an disketaere ever wieë von hin twae het sterrekste weur, toên koem ter dzjuus eejmand verbae diê nen dikke, werme jas àànhaa.

Noos lolga, Tatta jis wannewü, geiljona wardatü jau mank.

Today I learned that Winona, MN, is considered the center of Kashubian culture and language in the United States.

Më bëlë Kaszëbi, më jesmë Kaszëbi , më wiedno bãdzemë Kaszëbi.

IT NEEDS TO BE SHOUTED FROM THE ROOFTOPS THAT MAGA HAD A DELIBERATE SOCIAL ENGINEERING PLAN TO DEPORT LATINO FARMWORKERS AND FORCE BLACK PEOPLE TO DO FARM WORK BY GETTING RID OF SOCIAL WELFARE PROGRAMS
